    William Branham tells of a series of visions in June 1933 that would transpire before the coming of the Lord.<ref>An Exposition of the Seven Church Ages, William Marrion Branham, Chapter 9</ref>.  William Branham was very bold with these prophecies, claiming that the visions would be accurate "to the dot" and were "Thus Saith The Lord".<ref>Once More, November 17,1963</ref>. While he states that there were seven visions, he initially relates an eighth vision relating to President Roosevelt which we have included here for completeness:

    William Branham's recorded sermons are the only source as to the accuracy and timing of these visions.  However, William Branham often included facts when describing these prophecies that are historically inaccurate.  William Branham stated that he kept a book of his prophecies<ref> Souls That are in Prison Now, November 10, 1963</ref>; however, the contents of this book were never released to the public. It is our understanding that this book was "lost" after it was lent to someone after William Branham's death.  However, others have speculated that it was intentionally destroyed because its contents did not support the claims that William Branham made.
    :''Now, in 1933 when we were worshipping over here in the Masonic temple where the Church of Christ stands today, on one April morning before leaving home, I was dedicating my--a car (I got a '33 model car, and I was dedicating it to the Lord's service.), and in a vision I saw the end time. Now, notice how striking this is. Back yonder when I was just a boy, and you can imagine what a 1933 model car looked like--now, what it looked like. And I went over there to the Masonic temple where... Some of you old-timers in here remembers; '''it's wrote down on an old paper at home. It's already in print and went out around the world.''' See? That was in 1933. And I predicted that there would be some great tragedy happen to this United States before or by the year of 1977. How many remembers me saying that? Look at the hands. Sure.<ref>SEVENTY.WEEKS.OF.DANIEL_  JEFF.IN  DA 89-141  SUNDAY_  61-0806</ref>
    We have been unable to locate a copy of the print version of the 1933 prophecies and many speculate that it, in fact, never existed.
